With the rapid growth of the cryptocurrency industry, it has not only attracted numerous investors and traders but has also become a prime target for hackers and scammers. To ensure the safety of your digital assets, we recommend taking necessary security measures immediately after registering your HedgerX Exchange account to minimize potential risks.
Key Security Recommendations for Your HedgerX Exchange Account
1、Enable Google 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication)
We strongly recommend enabling Google 2FA immediately after logging into your HedgerX Exchange account to add an extra layer of security. Once 2FA is enabled, you will be required to enter a dynamic verification code for sensitive operations such as logging in or withdrawing funds, preventing unauthorized access.
Note: After enabling Google 2FA, ensure that account synchronization in the Google Authenticator app is turned off to enhance security.
2、Set a Fund Password
A fund password adds an extra layer of security, requiring verification for sensitive operations such as withdrawals. We recommend setting a complex fund password different from your login password to prevent hackers from transferring your assets even if they gain access to your account.
3、Disable Your Account if Security Issues Are Detected
If you suspect that your account is at risk, such as:
• Login from an unknown device
• Unauthorized withdrawal request
• Suspicious activity in your account
Immediately go to the HedgerX Exchange account security page to disable your account and prevent hackers from taking further action.
4、Use Official HedgerX Exchange Verification Channels

How to verify official information?

5、Additional Security Tips
Set a Strong Password
• Password length should be 8-32 characters
